“I currently have a Whirlpool microwave that is on the fritz. I plan to replace it with the GE 1.9 Over-the-Range microwave. What is the difference between Convertible and External venting?”

Today most new over the range microwaves are convertible to recirculating or the standard external venting. When setup for external venting the internal vent system discharges against a duct extending from the microwave top or rear to the outside air either through the roof, or to an eave vent. When set up for recirculating the air recirculates through a charcoal filter and comes out the bottom of the microwave back into the room. The conversion from exterior venting to recirculating is a very easy process and the procedure is described in the installation manual.
